About This Manual
The GPO Style Manual, as it is popularly known, is issued under the
authority of section 1105 of title 44 of the U.S. Code, which requires the
Director of the GPO to determine the form and style in which the printing
. . . ordered by a department is executed, . . . having proper regard to econ-
omy, workmanship, and the purposes for which the work is needed. The
Manual is prepared by the GPO Style Board, composed of proofreading,
printing, and Government documents specialists from within GPO, where
all congressional publications and many other key Government documents
are prepared.
The first GPO Style Manual appeared in 1894. It was developed origi-
nally as a printers stylebook to standardize word and type treatment, and
it remains so today. Through successive editions, however, the Manual has
come to be widely recognized by writers and editors both within and outside
the Federal Government as one of the most useful resources in the edito-
rial arsenal. And now in the 21st century, writers and editors are using the
Manual in the preparation of the informational content of Government
publications that appear in digital formats.
Writers and editors whose disciplines have taught them aspects of style dif-
ferent from those found in the GPO Style Manual will appreciate the
difficulty of establishing a single standard. Users of this Manual should
consider it instead as a general guide. Its rules cannot be regarded as rigid, for
the printed word assumes many shapes and variations in final presentation,
and usage changes over time as language evolves. Periodically the Manual
is updated, as this edition has been, to eliminate obsolete standards, update
form and usage, and adjust the guidance for document preparation and ap-
pearance to current custom.
Comments and suggestions from users of the GPO Style Manual are wel-
comed. All such correspondence may be emailed to the GPO Style Board at
gpostyle@gpo.gov.

vi About This Manual
A digital version of this Manual appears on GPOs govinfo at https://www.

govinfo.gov/gpo-style-manual. Revisions and updates are made to the on-
line version of this Manual periodically. Accordingly, that document rather
than the printed edition should be consulted as the most up-to-date version
available.
For the purposes of the GPO Style Manual, examples provided through-
out both the printed and digital versions are to be given the same weight as
the enumerated rules.

GPOs Digital Information Initiatives
In the digital age, GPO is responsible for providing public access to the digi-
tal versions of many of the official documents it prints, as well asto the
greatest extent possiblethe digital versions of Government publications
that are not printed but are otherwise made available on other Federal web-
sites. GPO recognizes that a Federal author today often begins the content
creation process at a computer, and frequently publishes the final document
to the web without creating a print version that will make its way to a user's
hands or a library's shelves.
GPO Access
To accommodate this transition in Federal publishing strategies while pre-
serving GPOs core responsibility for ensuring public access to Government
publications, Congress enacted Public Law 10340, the Government
Printing Office Electronic Information Access Enhancement Act of 1993,
which required GPO to establish access to key Government publications in
digital format and provide a system of storage to ensure permanent public
access to the information they contain. Opened to the public in 1994, the
resulting website, GPO Access, was GPO's entrance into the digital age. In
2003, the National Archives and Records Administration formally recog-
nized GPO as an affiliate archive for the digital content on the GPO Access
site. GPO Access operated for 15 years before it was retired following the
introduction of GPOs Federal Digital System (FDsys).
Federal Digital System (FDsys)

To meet continued public demand for access to digital Government publi-
cations, provide for an increased range of search and retrieval options, and
ensure the preservation of official Government information content in the
21st century, GPO embarked on the construction of a more comprehensive
online capability, called the Federal Digital System, or FDsys, available at
www.fdsys.gov.
FDsys was launched as a beta website in 2009 and permanently replaced
GPO Access in 2011. FDsys provides free access to hundreds of thousands
ix
x GPOs Digital Information Initiatives
of official Federal Government publications in digital format from all three

branches of the Federal Government, including congressional bills, the
Congressional Record, the Federal Register, the Compilation of Presidential
Documents, the U.S. Code, the Code of Federal Regulations, and opinions
from more than 100 Federal courts. In 2016, GPO reached a milestone of
two billion retrievals of digital Government information from FDsys (the
equivalent of nine retrievals per second over seven years of operation).
govinfo beta website

In February 2016, GPO launched the next generation of digital public access,
govinfo (at www.govinfo.gov) as a public beta website to eventually replace
the FDsys public website. govinfo is a redesign of FDsys featuring a modern,
easy-to-use look and feel that syncs with the need of todays Government
information users for quick and effective digital access across a variety of
digital platforms. It was developed with a focus on implementing feedback
from users and improving overall search and access to FDsys content. The
redesigned, mobile-friendly website incorporates state-of-the-art innovative
technologies and includes several new features for an overall enhanced user
experience. govinfo is the new front door to accessing the same official, pre-
served content that GPO has made available through GPO Access and FDsys
for more than two decades.
The key new features of govinfo include the capability to link related content,
new ways to browse content, a new open-source search engine, enhance-
ments to the search filters, and more options for sharing pages and content
on social media.
Digital preservation
Content in FDsys and govinfo is preserved to ensure permanent availabil-
ity in electronic form. As a preservation repository, GPO follows archival
system standards to ensure long-term preservation and access to digital
content. GPOs digital stewardship vision is to operate a standards-based
preservation repository and to implement user-friendly, responsive, and in-
novative technologies to ensure that all archived content information can
be obtained, rendered, used, and understood by the designated community
into the future.
GPOs Digital Information Initiatives xi
In 2015, GPO began pursuing certification of its flagship system as a

Trustworthy Digital Repository for Government information under ISO
16363: Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories.
Authentication of digital documents

The increasing use of documents in digital format poses a special challenge
in verifying authenticity, because digital technology makes such documents
easy to alter or copy in unauthorized or illegitimate ways. GPO assures users
that the publications available from GPO websites are as official and authen-
tic as publications that have been printed by GPO for many years. GPO
digital systems operate with established trust relationships between all par-
ties in digital transactions. A visible digital signature, viewed as the GPO
Seal of Authenticity signified by an eagle, verifies document integrity and
authenticity on GPO online Federal documents. The visible digital signature
on PDF documents on FDsys and govinfo signifies a guarantee that the in-
formation in the document is official, authentic, and secure.
XML bulk data repository

Since the launch of FDsys, GPO has worked with partners in the legislative
and executive branches to expand the availability of Government informa-
tion content in support of an open and transparent government. One such
effort involves making content available in machine-readable Extensible
Markup Language (XML) format for bulk download. The effort began in
2009 and has grown to nine collections now available through GPOs bulk
data repository at www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata. The repository features
data collections including text, summary, and status information for bills
introduced in the House of Representatives and the Senate, the annual of-
ficial and unofficial digital versions of the Code of Federal Regulations, the
Federal Register, the U.S. Government Manual, and the Public Papers of the
Presidents of the United States.
Information available on GPOs XML bulk data repository helps maximize
the ways this data can be used or repurposed by users. Making informa-
tion available in XML permits data to be reused and repurposed for mobile
web applications, data mashups, and other analytical tools by third-party
providers, contributing to efforts supporting openness and transparency in
government.
xii GPOs Digital Information Initiatives
Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP)

GPO is responsible for creating a catalog and index for all public documents
published by the Federal Government that are not confidential in character.
This work serves libraries and the public nationwide and enables people to
locate desired Government publications in all formats. The public interface
for accessing these cataloging records is the Catalog of U.S. Government
Publications (CGP), which is available in digital format at http://catalog.gpo.
gov. Using the CGP, anyone can freely access descriptive information for
historical and current Government publications as well as digital links to
their full content. Print versions of U.S. Government publications may be
found by contacting a Federal depository library: https://catalog.gpo.gov/
fdlpdir/FDLPdir.jsp.
Ben's Guide to the U.S. Government

Bens Guide, available at http://bensguide.gpo.gov, provides learning tools
for K12 students, parents, and educators. The site provides age-specific ex-
planations about how the Federal Government works, explains the use of
the primary source materials available on FDsys and govinfo, and explains
GPO's role in the Federal Government.
Online U.S. Government Bookstore

Government information users may also locate and order publications avail-
able for sale in both print and digitalincluding eBookformats through
GPO's Publication and Information Sales Program. Orders may be placed
online securely at https://bookstore.gpo.gov.
Applicability of the GPO STYLE MANUAL to digital publications

The rules of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and related matters, as stated
in this Manual, will serve well when preparing documents for digital
access. Most of the documents on FDsys and govinfo are derived from data-
bases used in the printing of Government publications. As the availability of
Government publications in digital formats continues to grow, the rules as
stated in this Manual will continue to be GPOs standard for all document
preparation, whether for conventional printing or digital access.

1. Advice to Authors and Editors
The GPO Style Manual is intended to facilitate the production of

Government publications. Careful observance of the following suggestions
will aid in expediting your publication and reduce costs.
1.1. Making changes after submission of copy delays the production of
the publication and adds to the expense of the work; therefore, copy
must be carefully edited before being submitted to the Government
Publishing Office.
1.2. Legible copy, not faint reproductions, must be furnished.
1.3. Copy should be on one side only with each sheet numbered con-
secutively. If both sides of copy are to be used, a duplicate set of copy
must be furnished.
1.4. To avoid unnecessary expense, it is advisable to have each page
begin with a new paragraph.
1.5. Proper names, signatures, figures, foreign words, and technical
terms should be written plainly.
1.6. Chemical symbols, such as Al, Cl, Tl are sometimes mistaken for
A1, C1, T1. Editors must indicate whether the second character is a
letter or a figure.
1.7. Footnote reference marks in text and tables should be arranged
consecutively from left to right across each page of copy.
1.8. Photographs, drawings, and legends being used for illustrations
should be placed in the manuscript where they are to appear in
the publication. They should be on individual sheets, as they are
handled separately during typesetting.
1.9. If a publication is composed of several parts, a scheme of the desired
arrangement must accompany the first installment of copy.
1.10. To reduce the possibility of costly blank pages, avoid use of new odd
pages and halftitles whenever possible. Generally these refinements
should be limited to quality bookwork.
1
2 Chapter 1
1.11. Samples should be furnished if possible. They should be plainly

marked showing the desired type, size of type page, illustrations if
any, paper, trim, lettering, and binding.
1.12. In looseleaf or perforated-on-fold work, indicate folio sequence, in-
cluding blank pages, by circling in blue. Begin with first text page
(title). Do not folio separate covers or dividers.
1.13. Indicate on copy if separate or self-cover. When reverse printing in
whole or in part is required, indicate if solid or tone.
1.14. Avoid use of oversize fold-ins wherever possible. This can be done
by splitting a would-be fold-in and arranging the material to appear
as facing pages in the text. Where fold-ins are numerous and can-
not be split, consider folding and inserting these into an envelope
pasted to the inside back cover.
1.15. Every effort should be made to keep complete jobs of over 4 pages to
signatures (folded units) of 8, 12, 16, 24, or 32 pages. Where possible,
avoid having more than two blank pages at the end.
1.16. Indicate alternative choice of paper on the requisition. Where pos-
sible, confine choice of paper to general use items carried in inventory
as shown in the GPO Paper Catalogue (https://www.gpo.gov/pdfs/
customers/GPOPaperCatalogue0614.pdf).
1.17. If nonstandard trim sizes and/or type areas are used, indicate head
and back margins. Otherwise, GPO will determine the margins.
1.18. Customers should submit copy for running heads and indicate the
numbering sequence for folios, including the preliminary pages.
1.19. Corrections should be made on first proofs returned, as later proofs
are intended for verification only. All corrections must be indicated
on the R (revise) set of proofs, and only that set should be returned
to GPO.
1.20. Corrections should be marked in the margins of a proof opposite
the indicated errors, not by writing over the print or between the
lines. All queries on proofs must be answered or no change will be
made.
Advice to Authors and Editors 3
1.21. The following GPO publications relate to material included in this

Manual.
Government Paper Specication Standards

The purpose of these standards is to achieve compliance with relevant
statutes regarding printing papers; address environmental, workplace
safety, and paper longevity issues; and achieve maximum savings in the
Governments paper purchases. 2011 (https://www.gpo.gov/pdfs/customers/
sfas/vol12/vol_12.pdf).
GPO Paper Samples

This publication is a supplement to Government Paper Specification
Standards. It includes samples of papers used by GPO. Used as a planning
aid and guide in selecting an adequate grade, weight, and color of paper for
a job of printing. 2011.
4 Chapter 1
1.22. Corrections made to proofs should be indicated as follows:
1
In lieu of the traditional mark tr used to indicate letter or number transpositions, the striking out of the
incorrect letters or numbers and the placement of the correct matter in the margin of the proof is the preferred
method of indicating transposition corrections.
2
Corrections involving more than two characters should be marked by striking out the entire word or number
and placing the correct form in the margin. This mark should be reserved to show transposition of words.
3
The form of any query carried should be such that an answer may be given simply by crossing out the complete
query if a negative decision is made or the right-hand (question mark) portion to indicate an affirmative answer.
Advice to Authors and Editors 5
Note.The system of marking proofs can be made easier by the use of an imaginary vertical line
through the center of the type area. The placement of corrections in the left-hand margin for those
errors found in the left-hand portion of the proof and in the right-hand margin for right-side errors
prevents overcrowding of marks and facilitates corrections.
2. General Instructions
Job planning
2.1. New publications are evaluated by application specialists who re-
view their requirements and design the necessary formats. Each
format is made to conform exactly to the copys specifications for
page dimensions, line length, indentions, typefaces, etc. Upon com-
pletion, sample pages are produced and submitted to the customer.
At this time, customer agencies are requested to indicate precise de-
tails of any style changes because this set of pages serves as a guide
for the copy preparer, the beginning of actual production.
2.2. Changes in the needs of the library community have led to a move
toward uniform treatment of the component parts of publications.
In developing standards to guide publishers of Government docu-
ments, consideration has been given to the changing needs of those
who seek to produce, reference, index, abstract, store, search, and
retrieve data. Certain identifying elements will be printed on all
publications in accordance with this Manual and with standards
developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Publications such as books and pamphlets should contain:
(a) Title and other title information;
(b) Name of department issuing or creating the publication;
(c) Name of author(s) and editor(s) (department or individual);
(d) Date of issuance;
(e) Availability (publisher, printer, or other source and address);

Makeup
2.3. The design and makeup of a publication is the responsibility of
the publisher. However, when the following elements occur in
Government publications, they generally appear in the sequence
listed below. The designation new odd page generally refers to
bookwork and is not required in most pamphlet- and magazine-
type publications.

(b) Frontispiece, faces title page.
(c) Title page (new odd page).
(d) Back of title, blank, but frequently carries such useful biblio-
graphic information as list of board members, congressional
resolution authorizing publication, note of editions and print-
ings, GPO imprint if departmental imprint appears on title
page, sales notice, etc.
(e) Letter of transmittal (new odd page).
(f) Foreword (new odd page), differs from a preface in that it is an
introductory note written as an endorsement by a person other
than the author. An introduction differs from a foreword or a
preface in that it is the initial part of the text; if the book is di-
vided into chapters, it should be the first chapter.
(g) Preface (new odd page), by author.
(h) Acknowledgments (new odd page), if not part of preface.
(i) Contents (new odd page), immediately followed by list of illus-
trations and list of tables, as parts of contents.
(j) Halftitle, new odd page preceding first page of text.
(k) Text, begins with page 1 (if halftitle is used, begins with p. 3).
(l) Glossary (new odd page).
(m) Bibliography (new odd page).
(n) Appendix (new odd page).
(o) Index (new odd page).
2.4. Preliminary pages use small-cap Roman numerals. Pages in the

back of the book (index, etc.), use lowercase Roman numerals.
2.5. Booklets of 32 pages or less can be printed more economically with
a self-cover. A table of contents, title page, foreword, preface, etc., is
not usually necessary with so few pages. If some of this preliminary
matter is necessary, it is more practical to combine them (e.g., con-
tents on cover; or contents, title, and foreword on cover 2).
2.6. Widow lines (lines less than full width of measure) at top of pages
are to be avoided, if possible, but are permitted if absolutely neces-
sary to maintain uniform makeup and page depth. Rewording to
fill the line is a preferred alternative.
2.7. Paragraphs may start on the last line of a page whenever necessary.
If it is found necessary to make a short page, the facing page should
be of approximate equal depth.
2.8. A blank space or sink of 6 picas should be placed at the head of
each new odd or even page of 46-pica or greater depth; pages with
a depth of from 36 to 45 picas, inclusive, will carry a 5-pica sink;
pages less than 36 picas, 4 picas.
2.9. When centered top folios are used, the folio on a new page is set 2
points smaller than the top folios, centered at the bottom, and en-
closed in parentheses.
2.10. When running heads with top folios are used, running heads are
included in overall page depth. However, first pages of chapters and
other pages with bottom folios do not include the folios as part of
the overall page depth.
2.11. Jobs that have bottom folios will align them in the margin, including
those on preliminary pages. If at all possible, avoid use of running
heads in conjunction with bottom folios.
2.12. Contents, list of illustrations, preface, or any other matter that
makes a page in itself will retain normal 6-pica sink.
2.13. Footnote references are repeated in boxheads or in continued lines
over tables, unless special orders are given not to do so.
12 Chapter 2
2.14. When a table continues, its headnote is repeated without the word
Continued.
2.15. A landscape or broadside table that continues from an even to an
odd page must be positioned to read through the center (gutter) of
the publication when its size is not sufficient to fill both pages.
2.16. A broadside table of less than page width will center on the page.
2.17. Centerheads, whether in boldface, caps, caps and small caps, small
caps, or italic, should have more space above than below. Uniform
spacing should be maintained throughout the page.
2.18. In making up a page of two or more columns, text preceding a
page-width illustration will be divided equally into the appropriate
number of columns above the illustration.
2.19. All backstrips should read down (from top to bottom).
Copy preparation
2.20. At the beginning of each job the proper formats must be plainly
marked. New Odd or New Page, Preliminary, Cover, Title, or Back
Title should also be plainly indicated.
2.21. Copy preparers must mark those things not readily understood
when reading the manuscript. They must also mark the correct ele-
ment identifier code for each data element, as well as indicate other
matters of style necessary to give the publication good typographic
appearance.
2.22. Preparers must indicate the proper subformat at the beginning of
each extension, verify folios, and plainly indicate references, foot-
notes, cut-ins, etc.
2.23. Quoted or extract matter and lists should be set smaller than text
with space above and below. Quotation marks at the beginning and
end of paragraphs should be omitted. If the same type size is used,
quoted matter should be indented 2 ems on both sides with space
top and bottom, and initial and closing quotes should be omitted.
2.24. In congressional hearings, the name of the interrogator or witness
who continues speaking is repeated following a head set in boldface,
a paragraph enclosed in parentheses, or a paragraph enclosed in

brackets.
In a head set in boldface, the title Mr. is not used, and the
Honorable preceding a name is shortened to Hon. Street ad-
dresses are also deleted. Example: Statement of Hon. John P. Blank,
Member, American Bar Association, Washington, DC.
2.25. Paragraph or section numbers (or letters) followed by figures or let-
ters in parentheses will close up, as section 7(B)(1)(a), paragraph
23(a), paragraph b(7), paragraph (a)(2); but section 9(a) (1) and
(2), section 7 a and b. In case of an unavoidable break, division
will be made after elements in parentheses, and no hyphen is used.
Capitalization
2.26. The customer should indicate use of capital and lowercase letters.
Datelines, addresses, and signatures

2.27. Copy preparers must mark caps, small caps, italic, abbreviations,
indentions, and line breaks where necessary. (For more detailed in-
structions, see Chapter 16 Datelines, Addresses, and Signatures.)
Decimals and common fractions

2.28. In figure columns containing both decimals and common fractions,
such decimals and/or fractions will not be aligned. The columns
will be set flush right.
Et cetera, etc., and and so forth

2.29. In printing a speakers language, the words and so forth or et ce-
tera are preferred, but in FIC & punc. matter etc. is acceptable.
If a quoted extract is set in type smaller than that of the preceding
text and the speaker has summed up the remainder of the quota-
tion with the words and so forth or et cetera, these words should be
placed at the beginning of the next line, flush and lowercase, and an
em dash should be used at the end of the extract.
14 Chapter 2
Folioing and stamping copy

2.30. Folios should be placed in the upper right corner, preferably half an
inch from the top.
Headings
2.31. The element identifier codes to be used for all headings must be
marked. Caps, caps and small caps, small caps, caps and lowercase,
sentence case, or italic must be prepared. (See rule 3.53.)
Pickup
2.32. The jacket number of a job from which matter is to be picked up
must be indicated. New matter and pickup matter should conform
in style.
Sidenotes and cut-in notes

2.33. Sidenotes and cut-in notes are set each line flush left and ragged
right, unless otherwise prepared, and are always set solid. Sidenotes
are usually set in 6 point, 4 picas wide. Footnotes to sidenotes and
text should be set 21 picas.
An alleged violation of the rule relating to admission to the floor
Sec. 920. Abuse presents a question of privilege (III, 2624, 2625; VI, 579), but not a
of the rule. higher question of privilege than an election case (III, 2626). In one
case where an ex-Member was abusing the privilege . . . .
Signs, symbols, etc.

2.34. All signs, symbols, dashes, superiors, etc., must be clearly marked.
Names of Greek letters must be indicated, as they are frequently
mistaken for italic letters or symbols.
2.35. Some typesetting systems produce characters that look the same as
figures. A lowercase l resembles a figure 1 and a capital O looks like
a figure 0. Questionable characters will be printed as figures unless
otherwise marked.
Letters illustrating shape and form

2.36. Use the same font for text and capital letters that convey shape and
form, e.g., U-shape(d), A-frame, T-bone, and I-beam.
2.37. Plurals are formed by adding an apostrophe and the letter s to letters
illustrating shape and form, such as Ts and Ys. Golf tee(s) should be
spelled, as shape is not indicated.
2.38. A capital letter is used in U-boat, V8, and other expressions which
have no reference to shape or form.
Fol. lit. and FIC & punc.

2.39. After submittal to GPO, manuscript copy is stamped Fol. lit. or
FIC & punc. The difference between these two typesetting in-
structions is explained thus:
Copy is followed when stamped Fol. lit. (follow literally). Copy au-
thorized to be marked Fol. lit. must be thoroughly prepared by the
requisitioning agency as to capitalization, punctuation (including
compounding), abbreviations, signs, symbols, figures, and italic.
Such copy, including even obvious errors, will be followed. The lack
of preparation on copy so designated will, in itself, constitute prepa-
ration. Fol. lit. does not include size and style of type or spacing.
Obvious errors are corrected in copy marked FIC & punc. (follow,
including capitalization and punctuation).
2.40. Bill copy will be followed as supplied and treated as FIC & punc.
(See rule 2.39.) This data is transmitted to the GPO with formatting
codes in place, requiring minimal copy preparation.
2.41. Copy preparers instructions, which accompany each job, are writ-
ten to cover the general style and certain peculiarities or deviations
from style. These instructions must be followed.
Abbreviations
2.42. In marking abbreviations to be spelled, preparers must show what
the spelled form should be, unless the abbreviations are common.
An unfamiliar abbreviation, with spelled-out form unavailable, will
not be changed.
16 Chapter 2
Type composition
2.43. Operators and revisers must study carefully the rules governing
composition.
2.44. In correcting pickup matter, the operator must indicate plainly on
the proof what portion, if any, was actually reset.
2.45. Every precaution must be taken to prevent the soiling of proofs, as it
is necessary for the reviser to see clearly every mark on the margin
of a proof after it has been corrected.
2.46. Queries intended for the author are not to be corrected. Such que-
ries, however, are not to be carried on jobs going directly to press.
Leading and spacing

2.47. Spacing of text is governed by the leading, narrow spacing being
more desirable in solid than in leaded matter.
2.48. Solid matter (text) is defined as those lines set without horizontal
space between them. Leaded text is defined as lines separated by 1
or 2 points of space.
2.49. A single justified word space will be used between sentences (key
one space when typing). This applies to all types of composition.
2.50. Center or flush heads set in caps, caps and small caps, small caps, or
boldface are keyed with regular justified spaces between words.
2.51. Centerheads are set apart from the text by the use of spacing. More
space is always inserted above a heading than below. In 10-point
type, the spacing would be 10 points over and 8 points under a head-
ing; in 8- and 6-point type, the spacing would be 8 points above and
6 points below.
2.52. Unless otherwise marked, flush heads are separated from text by 4
points of space above and 2 points of space below in solid matter,
and by 6 points of space above and 4 points of space below in leaded
matter.
2.53. Full-measure numbered or lettered paragraphs and quoted extracts
are not separated by space from adjoining matter.
2.54. Extracts that are set off from the text by smaller type or are indented
on both sides or indented 3 ems on the left side (courtwork only) are
separated by 6 points of space in leaded matter and by 4 points of
space in solid matter.
2.55. Extracts set solid in leaded matter are separated from the text by 6
points.
2.56. Flush lines following extracts are separated by 6 points of space in
leaded matter and by 4 points in solid matter.
2.57. Footnotes and legends are leaded if the text is leaded, and are solid
if the text is solid.
2.58. Leaderwork is separated from text by 4 points above and 4 points
below.
Indents
2.59. In measures less than 30 picas, the paragraph indent is 1 em.
Paragraph indents in cut-in matter are 3 ems, overs are 2 ems.
Datelines and signatures are indented in multiples of 2 ems.
Addresses are set flush left.
2.60. In measures 30 picas or wider, the paragraph indent is 2 ems.
Paragraph indents in cut-in matter are 6 ems, overs are 4 ems.
Datelines and signatures are indented in multiples of 2 ems.
Addresses are set flush left.
2.61. In measures less than 30 picas, overruns in hanging indents are 1
em more than the first line. To avoid conflict with an indent that
follows, such as a subentry or paragraph, the overrun indent is made
1 em more than the following line.
2.62. In measures 30 picas or wider, overruns in hanging indents are 2
ems more than the first line. To avoid conflict with an indent that
follows, such as a subentry or paragraph, the overrun indent is made
2 ems more than the following line.
2.63. Indents of matter set in smaller type should be the same, in points,
as that of adjoining main-text indented matter.
18 Chapter 2
2.64. Two-line centerheads are centered, but heads of three or more lines
are set with a hanging indent.
2.65. Overs in flush heads are indented 2 ems in measures less than 30
picas, and 3 ems in wider measures.
Legends for illustrations

2.66. It is preferred that legends and explanatory data consisting of one or
two lines are set centered, while those with more than two lines are
set with a hanging indent. Legends are set full measure regardless of
the width of the illustration. Paragraph style is acceptable.
2.67. Legend lines for illustrations that appear broad or turn page
(landscape) should be printed to read up; an even-page legend
should be on the inside margin and an odd-page legend on the out-
side margin.
2.68. Unless otherwise indicated, legends for illustrations are set in
8-point roman, sentence case.
2.69. Periods are used after legends and explanatory remarks beneath il-
lustrations. However, legends without descriptive language do not
use a period. (See rule 8.116.)
2.70. At the beginning of a legend or standing alone, Figure preceding the
identifying number or letter is set in caps and small caps and is not
abbreviated.
Figure 5, not Fig. 5 Figure A, not Fig. A
2.71. If a chart carries both a legend and footnotes, the legend is placed
above the chart.
2.72. Letter symbols used in legends for illustrations are set in lowercase
italic without periods.
Proofreading
2.73. All special instructions, layouts, and style sheets must be included
with the first installment of each job.
2.74. If the proofreader detects inconsistent or erroneous statements, it is
their responsibility to query them.
2.75. All queries appearing on the copy must be carried to the authors set
of proofs.
2.76. Proofs that are illegible or are in any manner defective must be
called to the attention of the deskperson.
2.77. The manner in which correction marks are made on a proof is of
considerable importance. Straggling, unsymmetrical characters,
disconnected marks placed in the margin above or below the lines
to which they relate, irregular lines leading from an incorrect let-
ter or word to a correction, large marks, marks made with a blunt
pencil, indistinct marks, and frequent use of the eraser to obliter-
ate marks hastily or incorrectly made are faults to be avoided. The
transposition mark should not be used in little-known words or in
figures. It is better to cancel the letters or figures and write them in
the margin in the order in which they are to appear.
2.78. In reading proof of wide tables, the proofreader should place the
correction as near as possible to the error.
2.79. To assure proper placement of footnotes, the proofreader and re-
viser must draw a ring around footnote references on the proofs,
then check off each corresponding footnote number.
2.80. Proofreaders must not make important changes in indents or tables
without consulting the referee.
2.81. Follow the marks of the copy preparer, as they are in a position to
know more about the peculiarities of a job than one who reads but
a small portion of it.
2.82. Any proposed deviation from the prepared manuscript must be
queried to the referee.
2.83. All instructions on copy must be carried on proof by readers.
2.84. Folios of copy must be run by the proofreader and marked on the
proof.
2.85. All instructions, comments, and extraneous notes on both copy
and proofs that are not intended to be set as part of the text must be
circled.
20 Chapter 2
Revising galley proofs

2.86. The importance of revising proofs cannot be overemphasized.
Although a reviser is not expected to read proof, it is not enough to
follow the marks found on the proof. The reviser should detect er-
rors and inconsistencies and must see that all corrections have been
properly made and that words or lines have not been transposed or
eliminated in making the corrections.
2.87. A reviser must not remodel the punctuation of the proofreaders or
make any important changes. If an important change should be
made, the reviser must submit the proposed change to the supervi-
sor for a decision.
2.88. In the body of the work, new pages must be properly indicated on
the proof. (For new-page information, see rule 2.3 Makeup.)
2.89. All instructions and queries on proofs must be transferred to the
revised set of proofs.
Revising page proofs

2.90. Page revising requires great diligence and care. The reviser must see
that the rules governing the instructions of previous workers have
been followed.
2.91. The reviser is responsible for marking all bleed and off-center pages.
2.92. A blank page must be indicated at the bottom of the preceding page.
2.93. Special care must be exercised in revising corrected matter. If it
appears that a correction has not been made, the reviser should
carefully examine each line on the page to see if the correction was
inserted in the wrong place.
2.94. The following rules must be carefully observed:
(a) See that the proof is clean and clear; request another if necessary.
(b) Verify that the galley proofs are in order and that the data on the
galleys runs in properly to facilitate continuous makeup.
(c) Make sure that different sets of proofs of the same job are cor-
rectly marked in series (R, 2R, 3R, etc.); where a sheet is
stamped Another proof, carry the same designating R on the
corresponding clean proof. Advance the R, 2R, 3R, etc., on
each set of page proofs returned from the originating office.
(d) Run the page folios, make sure they are consecutive and that
the running heads, if used, are correct. Check connection pages.
Verify correct sequence for footnote references and placement.
It is imperative that footnotes appear or begin on the same page
as their reference, unless style dictates that all footnotes are to
appear together in one location.
(e) Watch for dropouts, doublets, and transpositions.
(f) Legend lines of full-page illustrations that appear broad should
be printed to read upthe even-page legend on the binding or
inside margin and the odd-page legend on the outside margin.
(g) If a footnote is eliminated, do not renumber the footnotes;
change footnote to read Footnote eliminated.
2.95. If a footnote is added in proof, use the preceding number with a
superior letter added, as 15a.
2.96. If a table (with or without footnotes) ends a page that has footnotes
to the text, the text footnotes fall at the bottom of the page, with a
50-point rule above them. (See rule 13.76.)
Press revising
2.97. Press revising calls for the exercise of utmost care. The press re-
viser must be thoroughly familiar with the style and makeup of
Government publications. They are required to OK all forms that
go to pressbookwork, covers, jobwork, etc.and must see that
all queries are answered. Knowledge of the bindery operations re-
quired to complete a book or job and familiarity with all types of
imposition, folds, etc., is helpful. The reviser must be capable of as-
certaining the proper head, back, and side margins for all work, to
ensure proper trimming of the completed job.
22 Chapter 2
2.98. Although speed is essential when forms reach the press reviser, ac-
curacy is still paramount and must not be sacrificed.
Signature marks, etc.

2.99. Unless otherwise indicated, signature marks are set in 6-point low-
ercase and indented 3 ems.
2.100. Figures indicating the year should follow the jacket number in sig-
nature marks:
125327164 11652916vol. 13
11652916pt. 53
2.101. When the allmark () and signature or the imprint and signature
appear on same page, the signature line is placed below the allmark
or imprint. (See rule 2.113.)
2.102. The allmark is placed below the page, bulletin, or circular number
but above the signature line, if both appear on the same page.
2.103. Imprints and signature lines appearing on short pages of text are
placed at the bottom of the page.
2.104. On a congressional job reprinted because of a change, the House
and Senate have approved the following styles:
House of Representatives: Senate:
17234162 17235162 (Star Print)
2.105. The following forms are used for signature marks in House and
Senate documents and reports printed on session jackets:
H. Doc. 73, 1612 S. Doc. 57, 1612
S. Doc. 57, 162, pt. 12 S. Doc. 57, 162, vol. 12
H. Rept. 120, 1628 S. Rept. 100, 1629
2.106. In a document or report printed on other than a session jacket, use

the jacket number, year, and signature number only, omitting the
document or report number. (See rule 2.100.)
2.107. For pasters or foldouts, the jacket number, the year, and the page
to be faced by the paster or foldout are used as follows (note
punctuation):
1234416 (Face p. 10)
2.108. On a paster or foldout facing an even page, the marks are placed on
the lower right-hand side; on a paster or foldout facing an odd page,
the marks are placed on the lower left-hand side.
2.109. If more than one paster or foldout faces the same page, they are
numbered as follows:
1234416 (Face p. 19) No. 1
1234416 (Face p. 19) No. 2
2.110. When a paster or foldout follows the text, the allmark is placed on
the last page of the text and never on the paster or foldout.
Imprints
2.111. Unless otherwise stipulated, the GPO imprint must appear on all
printed matter, with the exception of certain classified work.
2.112. The full GPO imprint is used on the title page of a congressional
speech.
2.113. The imprint and allmark are not used together on any page; if one is
used, the other is omitted.
2.114. The imprint is not used on a halftitle or on any page of a cover, with
the exception of congressional hearings.
2.115. If there is a title page, the imprint is placed on the title page; but if
there is no title page, or if the title page is entirely an illustration, the
imprint is placed on the last page of the text 4 ems from flush right
and below the bottom folio.
2.116. The GPO logo is used only on GPO publications. If it is printed on
page ii, the full imprint is used on the title page; if it is printed on the
title page, use the half imprint only, thusWashington : 2016.
24 Chapter 2
Imprint variations
2.117. This is one style of an imprint that can appear on the title page.

2.119. Outside-purchase publications are identified by the GPO logo at the
beginning of the imprint line. These lines are positioned 4 ems from
the right margin.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE: 2016456789
2.120. Publications purchased outside that are reprinted by the GPO use
an em dash in lieu of the GPO logo.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE: 2016456789
2.121. Jobs set on outside purchase but printed by the GPO use an asterisk
in lieu of the GPO logo.

2.122. Publications produced from camera copy supplied to the GPO are
identified by cc printed at the end of the line.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE: 2016123456cc
Reprints
2.123. To aid bibliographic identification of reprints or revisions, the dates
of the original edition and of reprint or revision should be supplied
by the author on the title page or in some other suitable place. Thus:
First edition July 2000 Original edition May 2000
Reprinted July 2005 Reprinted May 2005
First printed June 2000 Revised July 2007
Revised June 2005
2.124. The year in the imprint on cover, title page, or elsewhere is not
changed from that in the original print, nor are the signatures
changed, unless other revisions are necessary.
Sales notices
2.125. The use of sales notices is discouraged.
2.126. If there is a cover but no title page, the sales notice is printed on the
cover. Unless otherwise indicated, if there is a title page, with or
without a cover, the sales notice is printed at the bottom of the title
page below a cross rule. If there is no cover or title page, any sales
notice is printed at the end of the text, below the imprint, and the
two are separated by a cross rule.
Franking
2.127. The franking (mailing) privilege on covers for Government publi-
cations should be at least 1 inches from the trim.
Bibliographies or references
2.128. There are many styles available to bibliographers, for there are many
classes of documents.
A Government bulletin citation, according to one authority, would
be treated as follows:
Authors name (if the article is signed); title of article (in quotation marks);
the publication (usually in italic), with correct references to volume, number,
series, pages, date, and publisher (U.S. Govt. Pub. Off.).
26 Chapter 2
Therefore the example would read:

U.S. Department of the Interior, Highlights in history of forest and re-
lated natural resource conservation, Conservation Bulletin, No. 41 (serial
number not italic), Washington, U.S. Dept. of the Interior (or U.S. Govt. Pub.
Off.), 1997. 1 p. (or p. 1).
Another Government periodical citation would read as follows:

Kirwan, Patrick S., New Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle
Credit, Internal Revenue Bulletin, No. 2009-48, pp. 713717 (November 30,
2009), Internal Revenue Service.
Clarity may be maintained by capitalizing each word in book titles,

with only the first word in the title of articles.
Other examples are:
Preston W. Slosson, The Great Crusade And After: 19141928 (New York:
Macmillan, 1930)
Edward B. Rosa, The economic importance of the scientific work of the
government, J. Wash. Acad. Sci. 10, 342 (1920)
or:
Preston W. Slosson, The Great Crusade and After: 19141928 (New York:
Macmillan, 1930)
Edward B. Rosa, The Economic Importance of the Scientific Work of the
Government, J. Wash. Acad. Sci. 10, 342 (1920)
Note in this that the principal words in both book titles and titles
of articles are capitalized. Consistency is more important in biblio-
graphic style than the style itself.

ing references are available for study:

3.1. It is impossible to give rules that will cover every conceivable prob-
lem in capitalization, but, by considering the purpose to be served
and the underlying principles, it is possible to attain a considerable
degree of uniformity. The list of approved forms given in chapter 4
will serve as a guide. Obviously such a list cannot be complete. The
correct usage with respect to any term not included can be deter-
mined by analogy or by application of the rules.
Historic or documentary accuracy

3.2. Where historic, documentary, technical, or scientific accuracy is
required, capitalization and other features of style of the original
text should be followed.
Proper names
3.3. Proper names are capitalized.
Rome John Macadam Italy
Brussels Macadam family Anglo-Saxon
Derivatives of proper names

3.4. Derivatives of proper names used with a proper meaning are
capitalized.
Roman (of Rome) Johannean Italian
3.5. Derivatives of proper names used with acquired independent com-

mon meaning, or no longer identified with such names, are set
lowercased. Since this depends upon general and long-continued
usage, a more definite and all-inclusive rule cannot be formulated
in advance.
roman (type) macadam (crushed rock) italicize
brussels sprouts watt (electric unit) anglicize
venetian blinds plaster of paris pasteurize

common noun or adjective, the entire expression is no longer a
proper noun and is therefore not capitalized.

cific proper name is capitalized.

5. Spelling
(See also Chapter 7 Compounding Examples and Chapter 9 Abbreviations and Letter Symbols)
5.1. GPO uses Websters Third New International Dictionary as its

guide for the spelling of words not appearing in the GPO Style
Manual. Colloquial and dialect spellings are not used unless re-
quired by the subject matter or specially requested. The tendency
of some producers of computer-assisted publications to rely on the
limited capability of some spell-checking programs adds impor-
tance to this list.

beginning with a vowel.
bag, bagging red, reddish but
format, formatting rob, robbing total, totaled, totaling

refer, reference prefer, preference infer, inference
Indenite articles
5.16. The indefinite article a is used before a consonant and an aspirated
h; an is used before a silent h and all vowels except u pronounced as
in visual and o pronounced as in one.
a historic occasion an herbseller but
a hotel an hour an H-U-D directive
a human being an honor a HUD directive

Spelling 95
Geographic names
5.20. The spelling of geographic names must conform to the decisions
of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) (http://geonames.
usgs.gov). In the absence of such a decision, the U.S. Directory of
Post Offices is to be used.
5.21. If the decisions or the rules of the BGN permit the use of either
the local official form or the conventional English form, it is the
prerogative of the originating office to select the form that is most
suitable for the matter in hand; therefore, in marking copy or read-
ing proof, it is required only to verify the spelling of the particular
form used. GPOs preference is for the conventional English form.
Copy will be followed as to accents, but these should be consistent
throughout the entire job.
Nationalities, etc.
5.22. The table on Demonyms in Chapter 17 Useful Tables shows forms
to be used for nouns and adjectives denoting nationality.
5.23. In designating the natives of the States, the following forms will be

Native, Hawaiian, and other groups, are to be followed literally as to
spelling and the use of spaces, diacriticals, hyphens, etc.
Transliteration
5.26. In the spelling of nongeographic words transliterated from Chinese,
Japanese, or any other language that does not have a Latin alphabet,
copy is to be followed literally.
6. Compounding Rules
(See also Chapter 7 Compounding Examples)
6.1. A compound word is a union of two or more words, either with

or without a hyphen. It conveys a unit idea that is not as clearly or
quickly conveyed by the component words in unconnected succes-
sion. The hyphen is a mark of punctuation that not only unites but
also separates the component words; it facilitates understanding,
aids readability, and ensures correct pronunciation. When com-
pound words must be divided at the end of a line, such division
should be made leaving prefixes and combining forms of more than
one syllable intact.
6.2. In applying the rules in this chapter and in using the list of ex-
amples in the following chapter, Compounding Examples, the
fluid nature of our language should be kept in mind. Word forms
constantly undergo modification. Although it is often the case that
hyphenated compound words eventually lose their hyphen, many
of them start out unhyphenated.
6.3. The rules, therefore, are somewhat flexible. Exceptions must nec-
essarily be allowed. Current language trends continue to point to
closing up certain words which, through either frequent use or
widespread dissemination through modern media exposure, have
become fixed in the readers mind as units of thought. The tendency
to merge two short words continues to be a natural progression to-
ward better communication.
General rules
6.4. In general, omit the hyphen when words appear in regular order
and the omission causes no ambiguity in sense or sound.
banking hours eye opener real estate
blood pressure fellow citizen rock candy
book value living costs training ship
census taker palm oil violin teacher
day laborer patent right
97
98 Chapter 6
6.5. Words are usually combined to express a literal or nonliteral (figura-

tive) unit idea that would not be as clearly expressed in unconnected
succession.
afterglow forget-me-not right-of-way
bookkeeping gentleman whitewash
cupboard newsprint
6.6. A derivative of a compound retains the solid or hyphenated form of

the original compound unless otherwise indicated.
coldbloodedness outlawry Y-shaped
footnoting praiseworthiness
ill-advisedly railroader
6.7. A hyphen is used to avoid doubling a vowel or tripling a consonant,

except after the short prefixes co, de, pre, pro, and re, which are gen-
erally printed solid. (See also rules 6.29 and 6.32.)
cooperation semi-independent shell-like
deemphasis brass-smith hull-less
preexisting Inverness-shire but
anti-inflation thimble-eye co-occupant
micro-organism ultra-atomic cross section
Solid compounds
6.8. Print solid two nouns that form a third when the compound has
only one primary accent, especially when the prefixed noun consists
of only one syllable or when one of the elements loses its original
accent.
airship cupboard footnote
bathroom dressmaker locksmith
bookseller fishmonger workman
6.9. Print solid a noun consisting of a short verb and an adverb as its sec-
ond element, except when the use of the solid form would interfere
with comprehension.

breakdown cooldown giveaway
hangover runoff but
holdup setup cut-in

words if meaning a single or particular person or thing. To avoid
mispronunciation, print no one as two words at all times.

7. Compounding Examples
7.1. The following examples are based on the rules for compounding
found in chapter 6. Obviously, this list or any other list of compound
words could not possibly be a complete reference due to sheer vol-
ume. However, an analogy of the words listed with like prefixes and
suffixes together with an application of the rules will result in easier
handling of those compound words not listed.
7.2. In order to keep the list from becoming cumbersome, certain re-
strictions had to be adopted.
7.3. The listing of hyphenated compounds ending in ed was kept to a
minimum. The rationale was to provide one or two examples under
a keyword rather than needless repetition.
7.4. Similarly, many two-word forms which create no difficulty were
omitted.
7.5. Care was exercised to achieve fuller coverage of solid compounds,
particularly when the adopted form is different than that of
Websters Third New International Dictionary. This dictionary is
GPOs guide for spelling with the exception of those words listed in
rule 5.2. It is not GPOs guide to compounding.
7.6. A distinction exists between words used in a literal sense and a non-
literal sense. With few exceptions, one-word forms usually express
a nonliteral interpretation, while two-word forms invariably convey
a literal meaning. For example, a person may have an interesting
sideline or hobby, but be forced to sit on the side line during periods
of inactivity.
7.7. Distinction should also be made in the compounding of two words
to form an adjective modifier and the use of the same words as a
predicate adjective; e.g., crystal-clear water, but the spring water
is crystal clear; fire-tested material, but the material is fire
tested.
111
112 Chapter 7
7.8. Caution should be exercised when distinguishing whether a succes-

sion of words is being used as a compound or whether they simply
appear together. Consider, for example, We know someone should
do it and who that some one ought to be.
7.9. Combining forms and prefixes are usually printed solid. For greater
readability, the hyphen is sometimes used to avoid doubling a vowel
(anti-inflation, naso-orbital); to facilitate a normally capitalized word
(mid-April, non-European); to assure distinct pronunciation of each
element of a compound or ready comprehension of intended mean-
ing (contra-ion, un-ionized); or to join a combining form or prefix to
a hyphenated compound (equi-gram-molar, pro-mother-in-law).
7.10. As nouns and adjectives, holdup, calldown, layout, makeup, and
similar words should be printed solid. Their er derivatives, (holder-
up, caller-down, layer-out, and maker-up) require hyphens. Such
compounds as run-in, run-on, and tie-in resist quick comprehen-
sion when solid. They are therefore hyphenated.
7.11. Words spelled alike but pronounced differently, such as tear-dimmed
and tearsheet, wind tunnel and windup, are listed under the same
keyword.
7.12. Words printed flush in the following list combine with the words
which follow to indicate solid or hyphenated compounds. A space-
mark (#) appearing before an indented entry indicates a two-word
form, but two-word forms appearing in the adjective position usu-
ally take a hyphen.
7.13. To indicate word function, several abbreviations have been ap-
pended. They are: adv., adverb; n., noun; v., verb; u.m., unit modifier;
pref., prefix; c.f., combining form; and conj., conjunction.

8. Punctuation
8.1. Punctuation is used to clarify the meaning of written or printed

language. Well-planned word order requires a minimum of punc-
tuation. The trend toward less punctuation calls for skillful phrasing
to avoid ambiguity and to ensure exact interpretation. The GPO
Style Manual can offer only general rules of text treatment. A
rigid design or pattern of punctuation cannot be laid down, except
in broad terms. The adopted style, however, must be consistent and
based on sentence structure.
8.2. The general principles governing the use of punctuation are: If it
does not clarify the text it should be omitted; and, in the choice and
placing of punctuation marks, the sole aim should be to bring out
more clearly the authors thought. Punctuation should aid reading
and prevent misreading.
Apostrophes and possessives

8.3. The possessive case of a singular or plural noun not ending in s is
formed by adding an apostrophe and s. The possessive case of a sin-
gular or plural noun ending in s or with an s sound is formed by
adding an apostrophe only. Some irregular plurals require both an
apostrophe and an s. (For possessives of italicized nouns, see rule
11.6.)
boss, bosses mans, mens
childs, childrens mediums, medias
citizens, citizens peoples, peoples
Congress, Congresses Essexs, Essexes
criterions, criterias Jones, Joneses
Co.s, Cos. Jesus
erratums, erratas Mars
hostess, hostesses Dumas
ladys, ladies Schmitz
8.4. In compound nouns, the s is added to the element nearest the object
possessed.
comptroller generals decision attorney at laws fee
attorneys generals appointments John White, Jr.s (no comma) account
Mr. Brown of New Yorks motion
193
194 Chapter 8
8.5. Joint possession is indicated by placing an apostrophe on the last el-

ement of a series, while individual or alternative possession requires
the use of an apostrophe on each element of a series.
soldiers and sailors home editors or proofreaders opinion
Brown & Nelsons store Bushs or Obamas administration
mens, womens, and childrens Mrs. Smiths and Mrs. Allens children
clothing the Armys and the Navys work
St. Michaels Mens Club masters and doctors degrees
8.6. In the use of an apostrophe in firm names, the names of organiza-

tions and institutions, the titles of books, and geographic names,
the authentic form is to be followed. (Note use of St.)
Masters, Mates & Pilots Association Johns Hopkins University
Dentists Supply Co. of New York Hinds Precedents
International Ladies Garment Hells Canyon
Workers Union Readers Digest
Court of St. Jamess Actors Equity Association
St. Peters Church Harpers Ferry
St. Elizabeths Hospital but Marthas Vineyard
8.7. Generally, the apostrophe should not be used after names of coun-
tries and other organized bodies ending in s, or after words more
descriptive than possessive (not indicating personal possession),
except when plural does not end in s.

8.28. To introduce a bulleted or enumerated list that is not run in. There
are many ways to construct such a listfar too many to detail here
depending on the contents of the list and the intent of the author;
however, a few guidelines concerning consistency should be kept in
mind.
Punctuation at the end of each list item may be commas, semi-
colons, periods, or even none at all, as long as its use is consistent
within a list. The exception to this is that if commas or semicolons
are used, the last item should end with a period, unless the list is
part of a sentence that continues on after the list.
List items should be lowercased in a list using commas or semico-
lons after each list item. For lists using periods or no punctuation,
capitalization should be determined by contextlists of single
words are usually lowercased, whereas lists of independent clauses
are more appropriately capitalized. Whatever choice is made con-
cerning capitalization, it should be applied to all the list items; the
first item is not handled differently.
200 Chapter 8
A conjunction (and, or, nor) should follow the penultimate item

in a list using commas or semicolons after each list item, but not

space divided evenly between the asterisks. In measures less than
26 picas, five asterisks are used. Quotation marks are not used

A. The number of levels and the width of the column determine alignment

9. Abbreviations and Letter Symbols
9.1. Abbreviations and letter symbols are used to save space and to avoid
distracting the reader by use of repetitious words or phrases.
9.2. The nature of the publication governs the extent to which abbrevia-
tions are used. In the text of technical and legal publications, and in
parentheses, brackets, footnotes, sidenotes, tables, leaderwork, and
bibliographies, many words are frequently abbreviated. Heads, leg-
ends, tables of contents, and indexes follow the style of the text.
9.3. Internal and terminal punctuation in symbols representing units
of measure are to be omitted to conform with practice adopted by
scientific, technical, and industrial groups. Where the omission of
terminal punctuation causes confusion; e.g., the symbol in (inch)
mistaken for the preposition in, the symbol should be spelled out.
9.4. Standard and easily understood forms are preferable, and they
should be uniform throughout a job. Abbreviations not generally
known should be followed in the text by the spelled-out forms in
parentheses the first time they occur; in tables and leaderwork such
explanatory matter should be supplied in a footnote. As the printer
cannot rewrite the copy, the author should supply these explanatory
forms.
9.5. In technical matter, symbols for units of measure should be used
only with figures; similarly, many other abbreviations and symbols
should not appear in isolation. For example, energy is measured in
foot-pounds, NOT energy is measured in ftlbs. See ASME Y14.38
("Abbreviations and Acronyms for use on Drawings and Related
Documents") for an extended list of technical abbreviations.
Capitals, hyphens, periods (points), and spacing

9.6. In general, an abbreviation follows the capitalization and hyphen-
ation of the word or words abbreviated. It is followed by a period
unless otherwise indicated.
c.o.d. St. but ftlb

9.7. Abbreviations and initials of a personal name with points are set

tials or numbers, will retain space.

9.8. Except as otherwise designated, points and spaces are omitted

after initials used as shortened names of governmental agencies
and of other organized bodies. Other organized bodies will be
interpreted to mean organized bodies that have become popularly
identified with a symbol, such as MIT (Massachusetts Institute of
Technology), GM (General Motors), AFLAC (American Family Life
Assurance Company), etc. (See also rule 9.61.) Symbols, when they
appear in copy, may be used for acts of Congress. Example: ARA
(Area Redevelopment Act).
VFW TVA ARC

Geographic terms
9.9. United States must be spelled out when appearing in a sentence
containing the name of another country. The abbreviation U.S.

tions and courtwork; and covers and title pages.

United States military titles and abbreviations

Ofcer rank
Officer ranks in the United States military consist of commissioned officers
and warrant officers. The commissioned ranks are the highest in the mili-
tary. These officers hold presidential commissions and are confirmed at their
ranks by the Senate. Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps officers are called
company grade officers in the pay grades of O1 to O3, field grade offi-
cers in pay grades O4 to O6, and general officers in pay grades O7 and
higher. The equivalent officer groupings in the Navy are called junior grade,
mid-grade, and flag.
Warrant officers hold warrants from their service secretary and are special-
ists and experts in certain military technologies or capabilities. The lowest
ranking warrant officers serve under a warrant, but they receive commis-
sions from the President upon promotion to chief warrant officer 2. These
commissioned warrant officers are direct representatives of the President
of the United States. They derive their authority from the same source as
commissioned officers but remain specialists, in contrast to commissioned
officers, who are generalists. There are no warrant officers in the Air Force.

Enlisted rank
Service members in pay grades E1 through E3 are usually either in some
kind of training status or on their initial assignment. The training includes
the basic training phase where recruits are immersed in military culture and
values and are taught the core skills required by their service component.
Basic training is followed by a specialized or advanced training phase that
provides recruits with a specific area of expertise or concentration. In the
Army and Marines, this area is called a military occupational specialty; in
the Navy it is known as a rate; and in the Air Force it is simply called an Air
Force specialty.
Leadership responsibility significantly increases in the mid-level enlisted
ranks. This responsibility is given formal recognition by use of the terms
noncommissioned officer and petty officer. An Army sergeant, an Air Force
staff sergeant, and a Marine corporal are considered NCO ranks. The Navy
NCO equivalent, petty officer, is achieved at the rank of petty officer third
class.
At the E8 level, the Army, Marines, and Air Force have two positions at the
same pay grade. Whether one is, for example, a senior master sergeant or a
first sergeant in the Air Force depends on the persons job. The same is true
for the positions at the E9 level. Marine Corps master gunnery sergeants
and sergeants major receive the same pay but have different responsibilities.
E8s and E9s have 15 to 30 years on the job, and are commanders senior

10. Signs and Symbols
10.1. The increased use of signs and symbols and their importance in
technical and scientific work have emphasized the necessity of
standardization on a national basis and of the consistent use of the
standard forms.
10.2. Certain symbols are standardizednumber symbols (the digits, 0,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9); letter symbols (the letters of the alphabet, a, b,
c, d, etc.); and graphic symbols (the mathematical signs +, , , , ).
10.3. The signs +, , , , and , etc., are closed against accompanying
figures and symbols. When the is used to indicate crossed with
(in plant or animal breeding) or magnification, it will be separated
from the accompanying words by a space.

Symbols with gures

10.4. In technical publications the degree mark is used in lieu of the word
degree following a figure denoting measurement.
10.5. Following a figure, the spelled form is preferred. The percent sym-
bol is used in areas where space will not allow the word percent to be
used.
In that period the price rose 12, 15, and 19 percent.
not In that period the price rose 12 percent, 15 percent, and 19 percent.
10.6. Any symbol set close up to figures, such as the degree mark, num-
ber mark, dollar mark, or cent mark, is used before or after each
figure in a group or series.
$5 to $8 price range but
5'7' long, not 57' long 12 (thin space)
3 to 5 (no spaces) 1951 (thin space)
2 to 7; 21 from 15 to 25 percent
#61 to #64 45 to 65 F not 45 to 65 F

264 Chapter 10
Letter symbols
10.7. Letter symbols are set in italic (see rule 10.8) or in roman (see rule
9.56) without periods and are capitalized only if so shown in copy,
since the capitalized form may have an entirely different meaning.
Equations
10.8. In mathematical equations, use italic for all letter symbolscapitals,
lowercase, small capitals, and superiors and inferiors (exponents
and subscripts); use roman for figures, including superiors and
inferiors.
10.9. If an equation or a mathematical expression needs to be divided,
break before +, , =, etc. However, the equal sign is to clear on the
left of other beginning mathematical signs.
10.10. A short equation in text should not be broken at the end of a line.
Space out the line so that the equation will begin on the next line; or
better, center the equation on a line by itself.
10.11. An equation too long for one line is set flush left, the second half
of the equation is set flush right, and the two parts are balanced as
nearly as possible.
10.12. Two or more equations in a series are aligned on the equal signs and
centered on the longest equation in the group.
10.13. Connecting words of explanation, such as hence, therefore, and simi-
larly, are set flush left either on the same line with the equation or
on a separate line.
10.14. Parentheses, braces, brackets, integral signs, and summation signs
should be of the same height as the mathematical expressions they
include.
10.15. Inferiors precede superiors if they appear together; but if either in-
ferior or superior is too long, the two are aligned on the left.
Chemical symbols
The names and symbols listed below are approved by the
10.16.
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. They are set in
roman without periods.

Standardized symbols
10.17. Symbols duly standardized by any national scientific, professional,
or technical group are accepted as preferred forms within the field
of the group. The issuing office desiring or requiring the use of such
standardized symbols should see that copy is prepared accordingly.
Signs and symbols

10.18. The following list contains some signs and symbols frequently used
in printing. The forms and style of many symbols vary with the
method of reproduction employed. It is important that editors and
writers clearly identify signs and symbols when they appear within
a manuscript.

Standard letter symbols used by the Geological Survey on geologic maps. Capital letter indicates
the system and one or more lowercased letters designate the formation and member where used.
11. Italic
(See also Chapter 9 Abbreviations and Letter Symbols
and Chapter 16 Datelines, Addresses, and Signatures)
11.1. Italic is sometimes used to differentiate or to give greater prominence

to words, phrases, etc. However, an excessive amount of italic defeats
this purpose and should be restricted.
Emphasis, foreign words, and titles of publications

11.2. Italic is not used for mere emphasis, foreign words, or the titles of
publications.
11.3. In nonlegal work, ante, post, infra, and supra are italicized only when
part of a legal citation. Otherwise these terms, as well as the abbrevia-
tions id., ibid., op. cit., et seq., and other foreign words, phrases, and
their abbreviations, are printed in roman.
11.4. When [emphasis in original], [emphasis supplied], [emphasis added],

or [emphasis ours] appears in copy, it should not be changed; but
underscore supplied should be changed to italic supplied.
Therefore, when emphasis in quoted or extracted text is referred to
by the foregoing terms, such emphasized text must be reflected and
set in italic.
11.5. When copy is submitted with instructions to set all roman (no
italic), these instructions will not apply to Ordered, Resolved, Be it
enacted, etc.; titles following signatures or addresses; or the parts of
datelines that are always set in italic.
Names of aircraft, vessels, and spacecraft

11.6. The names of aircraft, vessels, and manned spacecraft are italicized
unless otherwise indicated. In lists set in columns and in stubs and
reading columns of tables consisting entirely of such names, they will
be set in roman. Missiles and rockets will be set in caps and lowercase
and will not be italicized.

11.8. The names of legal cases are italicized, except for the v., which is
always set in lowercase. When requested, the names of such cases
may be set in roman with an italic v. In matter set in italic, legal cases
are set in roman with the v. being set roman.

Scientic names
11.9. The scientific names of genera, subgenera, species, and subspecies
(varieties) are italicized but are set in roman in italic matter; the
names of groups of higher rank than genera (phyla, classes, orders,
families, tribes, etc.) are printed in roman.

11.10. Quotation marks should be used in place of italic for scientific names
appearing in lines set in caps, caps and small caps, or boldface, even
if there is italic type available in the series.
Words and letters

11.11. The words Resolved, Resolved further, Provided, Provided, however,
Provided further, And provided further, and ordered, in bills, acts,

11.13. Letter designations in mathematical and scientific matter, except

chemical symbols, are italicized.
11.14. Letter symbols used in legends to illustrations, drawings, etc., or in

text as references to such material, are set in italic without periods
and are capitalized if so shown in copy.
11.15. Letters (a), (b), (c), etc., and a, b, c, etc., used to indicate sections or
paragraphs, are italicized in general work but not in laws or other
legal documents.
11.16. Internet websites and email addresses should be set in roman.

12. Numerals
(See also Chapter 13 Tabular Work and Chapter 14 Leaderwork)
12.1. Most rules for the use of numerals are based on the general prin-
ciple that the reader comprehends numerals more readily than
numerical word expressions, particularly in technical, scientific, or
statistical matter. However, for special reasons, numbers are spelled
out in certain instances, except in FIC & punc. and Fol. Lit. matter.
12.2. The following rules cover the most common conditions that require
a choice between the use of numerals and words. Some of them,
however, are based on typographic appearance rather than on the
general principle stated above.
12.3. Arabic numerals are preferable to Roman numerals.
Numbers expressed in gures

12.4. A figure is used for a single number of 10 or more with the excep-
tion of the first word of the sentence. (See also rules 12.9 and 12.23.)
50 ballots 24 horses nearly 13 buckets
10 guns about 40 men 10 times as large
Numbers and numbers in series

12.5. When 2 or more numbers appear in a sentence and 1 of them is
10 or larger, figures are used for each number. (See supporting rule
12.6.)
Each of 15 major commodities (9 metal and 6 nonmetal) was in supply.
but Each of nine major commodities (five metal and four nonmetal) was in supply.

carries points and ciphers, the other should also carry points and
ciphers.
At the hearing, only one Senator and one Congressman testified.
There are four or five things that can be done.
12.6. A unit of measurement, time, or money (as defined in rule 12.9),

which is always expressed in figures, does not affect the use of fig-
ures for other numerical expressions within a sentence.
Each of the five girls earned 75 cents an hour.
Each of the 15 girls earned 75 cents an hour.
A team of four men ran the 1-mile relay in 3 minutes 20 seconds.

12.9. Units of measurement and time, actual or implied, are expressed in
figures.

of 2 years or more, when contracted, the forms 190011, 190638,
193132, 18012, 187579 are used (but upon change of century,
18951914 and to avoid multiple ciphers together, 20002001). For
two or more separate years not representing a continuous period, a
comma is used instead of a dash (1875, 1879); if the word from pre-
cedes the year or the word inclusive follows it, the second year is not
shortened and the word to is used in lieu of the dash (from 1933 to
1936; 1935 to 1936, inclusive).
In dates, A.D. precedes the year (A.D. 937); B.C. follows the year
(254 B.C.); C.E. and B.C.E. follow the year.
d. Decimals: In text a cipher should be supplied before a decimal

point if there is no whole unit, and ciphers should be omitted
after a decimal point unless they indicate exact measurement.

12.10. Except as indicated in rules 12.11 and 12.19, and also for day preced-
ing month, figures are used in text and footnotes to text for serial
ordinal numbers beginning with 10th. In tables, leaderwork, foot-
notes to tables and leaderwork, and in sidenotes, figures are used at
all times. Military units are expressed in figures at all times when
not the beginning of a sentence, except Corps. (For ordinals in
addresses, see rule 12.13.)

ling mark (1/4, 1/2954) may be used only when either is specifically
requested. Mixed fractions in full-sized figures are joined with a
hyphen (2-2/3). A comma should not be used in any part of a built-
up fraction of four or more digits or in decimals. (See rule 12.9e.)

13. Tabular Work
(See also Chapter 9 Abbreviations and Letter Symbols and Chapter 14 Leaderwork)
13.1. The object of a table is to present in a concise and orderly manner

information that cannot be presented as clearly in any other way.
13.2. Tabular material should be kept as simple as possible, so that the
meaning of the data can be easily grasped by the user.
13.3. Tables shall be set without down (vertical) rules when there is at
least an em space between columns, except where: (1) in GPOs
judgment down rules are required for clarity; or (2) the agency has
indicated on the copy they are to be used. The mere presence of
down rules in copy or enclosed sample is not considered a request
that down rules be used. The publication dictates the type size used
in setting tables. Tabular work in the Congressional Record is set 6
on 7. The balance of congressional tabular work sets 7 on 8. If down
rules are used they will be set as hairlines, unless a specific weight is
requested.
Abbreviations
13.4. To avoid burdening tabular text, commonly known abbreviations
are used in tables. Metric and unit-of-measurement abbreviations
are used with figures.
13.5. The names of months (except May, June, and July) when followed by
the day are abbreviated.
13.6. The words street, avenue, place, road, square, boulevard, terrace,
drive, court, and building, following name or number, are abbre-
viated. For numbered streets, avenues, etc., figures are used.
13.7. Abbreviate the words United States if preceding the word
Government, the name of any Government organization, or as an
adjective generally.
13.8. Use the abbreviations RR and Ry. following a name, and SS, MS,
etc., preceding a name.
13.9. Use lat. and long. with figures.
285
286 Chapter 13
13.10. Abbreviate, when followed by figures, the various parts of publica-

tions, as article, part, section, etc.
13.11. Use, generally, such abbreviations and contractions as 98th Cong.,
1st sess., H. Res. 5, H.J. Res. 21, S. Doc. 62, S. Rept. 410, Rev. Stat., etc.
13.12. In columns containing names of persons, copy is followed as to ab-
breviations of given names.
13.13. Periods are not used after abbreviations followed by leaders.
Bearoff or inset
13.14. An en space is used for all bearoffs or insets.
13.15. In a crowded table, when down rules are necessary, the bearoff or
inset may be reduced in figure columns.
13.16. Fractions are set flush right to the bearoff or inset of the allotted
column width, and not aligned.
13.17. Mathematical signs, parentheses, fractions, and brackets are set
with a normal bearoff or inset.
Boxheads
13.18. Periods are omitted after all boxheads, but a dash is used after any
boxhead which reads into the matter following.
13.19. Boxheads run crosswise.
13.20. Boxheads are set solid, even in leaded tables.
13.21. Boxheads are centered horizontally and vertically.

13.22. In referring to quantity of things, the word Number in boxheads is

spelled if possible.
13.23. Column numbers or letters in parentheses may be set under box-
heads and are separated by one line space below the deepest head.
(If alignment of parentheses is required within the table, use brack-
ets in boxhead.) These column references align across the table.
Units of quantity are set in parentheses within boxheads.

Centerheads, ush entries, and subentries

13.25. Heads follow the style of the tables as to the use of figures and
abbreviations.
13.26. Punctuation is omitted after centerheads. Flush entries and sub-
entries over subordinate items are followed by a colon (single sub-
entry to run in, preserving the colon), but a dash is used instead of a
colon when the entry reads into the matter below.

13.27. In reading columns if the centerhead clears the reading matter

below by at least an em, the space is omitted; if it clears by less than
an em, a space is used. If an overrun, rule, etc., in another column,
or in the same column, creates a blank space above the head, the
extra space is not added.
13.28. Units of quantity and years used as heads in reading and figure col-
umns are set in italic with space above but no space below.
No-down-rule style (preferred)

The rules are used here to aid readability.

Ciphers
13.29. Where the first number in a column or under a cross rule is wholly
a decimal, a cipher is added at the left of its decimal point. A cipher
used alone in a money or other decimal column is placed in the unit
row and is not followed by a period. The cipher repeats in mixed
units before decimals unless the group totals.

13.30. In columns containing both dollars and cents, ciphers will be sup-
plied on right of decimal point in the absence of figures.

13.33. Copy is followed in the use of the word None or a cipher to indicate
None in figure columns. If neither one appears in the copy, leaders
are inserted, unless a clear (no leaders) is specifically requested.
290 Chapter 13
13.34. In columns of figures under the heading s d, if a whole number of

pounds is given, one cipher is supplied under s and one under d; if
only shillings are given, one cipher is supplied under d.
13.35. In columns of figures under Ft In, if only feet are given, supply
cipher under In; if only inches are given, clear under Ft; if ciphers
are used for None, place one cipher under both Ft and In.
13.36. In any column containing sums of money, the period and ciphers
are omitted if the column consists entirely of whole dollars.
Continued heads
13.37. In continued lines an em dash is used between the head and the
word (Continued) (in italic). No period is carried after a continued
line.
13.38. Continued heads over tables will be worded exactly like the table
heading. Notes above tables are repeated; footnote references are re-
peated in boxheads and in continued lines.
Dashes or rules
13.39. Rules are not carried in reading columns or columns consisting
of serial or tracing numbers, but are carried through all figure
columns.
13.40. Parallel rules are used to cut off figures from other figures below
that are added or subtracted; also, generally, above a grand total.
Ditto (do.)
13.41. The abbreviation do. is used to indicate that the previous line is
being repeated instead of repeating the line, verbatim, over and
over. It is used in reading columns only, lowercased and preceded
by leaders (6 periods) when there is matter in preceding column. If
ditto marks are requested, closing quotes will be used.
13.42. Capitalize Do. in the first and last columns. These are indented
1 or 2 ems, depending on the length of the word being repeated,
or the width of the column; the situation will determine as it is
encountered.
Tabular Work 291
13.43. In mixed columns made up of figure and reading-matter items, do.

is used only under the latter items.
13.44. Do. is not used
(1) In a figure or symbol column (tracing columns are figure
columns);
(2) In the first line under a centerhead in the column in which
the centerhead occurs;
(3) Under a line of leaders or a rule;
(4) Under an item italicized or set in boldface type for a specific
reason (italic or boldface do. is never used; item is repeated);
(5) Under an abbreviated unit of quantity or other abbrevia-
tions; or
(6) Under words of three letters or less.
13.45. Do. is used, however, under a clear space and under the word None
in a reading column.
13.46. Do. does not apply to a reference mark on the preceding item. The
reference mark, if needed, is added to do.
13.47. Leaders are not used before Do. in the first column or before or after
Do. in the last column.
13.48. In a first and/or last column 6 ems or less in width, a 1-em space
is used before Do. In all other columns 6 ems or less in width, six
periods are used. Bearoff is not included.
13.49. In a first and/or last column more than 6 ems in width, 2 ems of space
are used before Do. In all other columns more than 6 ems in width,
six periods are used. Bearoff space is not included. If the preceding
line is indented, the indention of Do. is increased accordingly.
13.50. Do. under an indented item in an inside reading column, with or
without matter in preceding column, is preceded by six periods
which are indented to align with item above.
292 Chapter 13
Dollar mark
13.51. The dollar mark or any other money symbol is placed close to the
figure; it is used only at the head of the table and under cross rules
when the same unit of value applies to the entire column.
13.52. In columns containing mixed amounts (as money, tons, gallons,
etc.), the dollar mark, pound mark, peso mark, or other symbol, as
required, is repeated before each sum of money.
13.53. If several sums of money are grouped together, they are separated
from the nonmoney group by a parallel rule, and the symbol is
placed on the first figure of the separated group only.

Figure columns
13.57. Figures align on the right, with an en space bearoff. There is no
bearoff on leaders.
13.58. In a crowded table the bearoff may be reduced in figure columns
only. It is preferable to retain the bearoff.
13.59. Figures in parentheses align.
13.60. In double rows of figures in a single column, connected by a dash, a
plus, or minus sign, and in dates appearing in the form 9408, the
dashes or signs can be aligned.
13.61. Plus or minus signs at the left of figures are placed against the fig-
ures regardless of alignment; plus and minus signs at the right of
figures are cleared.
13.62. Words and Roman numerals in figure columns are aligned on the
right with the figures, without periods.

13.63. Figures (including decimal and common fractions) expressing

mixed units of quantity (feet, dollars, etc.) and figures in parenthe-
ses are aligned on the right.
13.64. Decimal points are aligned except in columns containing numbers
that refer to mixed units (such as pounds, dollars, and percentage)
and have irregular decimals.
Footnotes and references

13.65. Footnotes to tables are numbered independently from footnotes to
text unless requested by committee or department.
13.66. Superior figures are used for footnote references, beginning with 1
in each table.
294 Chapter 13
13.67. If figures might lead to ambiguity (for example, in connection with

a chemical formula), asterisks, daggers, or italic superior letters, etc.,
may be used.
13.68. When items carry several reference marks, the superior-figure
reference precedes an asterisk, dagger, or similar character used
for reference. These, in the same sequence, precede mathematical
signs. A thin space is used to bear off an asterisk, dagger, or similar
character.
13.69. Footnote references are repeated in boxheads or in continued lines
over tables.
13.70. References to footnotes are numbered consecutively across the page
from left to right.
13.71. Footnote references are placed at the right in reading columns and
symbol columns, and at the left in figure columns (also at the left of
such words as None in figure columns), and are separated by a thin
space.
13.72. Two or more footnote references occurring together are separated
by spaces, not commas.
13.73. In a figure column, a footnote reference standing alone is set in
parentheses and flushed right. In a reading column, it is set at the
left in parentheses and is followed by leaders, but in the last column
it is followed by a period, as if it were a word. In a symbol column it
is set at the left and cleared.
13.74. Numbered footnotes are placed immediately beneath the table. If a
sign or letter reference in the heading of a table is to be followed, it
is not changed to become the first numbered reference mark. The
footnote to it precedes all other footnotes. The remaining footnotes
in a table will follow this sequence: footnotes (numbers, letters, or
symbols); Note.; then Source:.
13.75. For better makeup or appearance, footnotes may be placed at the
end of a lengthy table. A line reading Footnotes at end of table. is
supplied.
Tabular Work 295
13.76. If the footnotes to both table and text fall together at the bottom of
a page, the footnotes to the table are placed above the footnotes to
the text, and the two groups are separated by a 50-point rule flush
left; but if there are footnotes to the text and none to the table, the
50-point rule is retained.
13.77. Footnotes to cut-in and indented tables and tables in rules are set
full measure, except when footnotes are short, they can be set in 1
em under indented table.
13.78. Footnotes are set as paragraphs, but two or more short footnotes
should be combined into one line, separated by not less than 2 ems.
13.79. The footnotes and notes to tables are set solid.
13.80. Footnotes and notes to tables and boxheads are set the same size,
but not smaller than 6 point, unless specified otherwise.
13.81. Footnotes to tables follow tabular style in the use of abbreviations,
figures, etc.
13.82. In footnotes, numbers are expressed in figures, even at the begin-
ning of a note or sentence.
13.83. If a footnote consists entirely or partly of a table or leaderwork, it
should always be preceded by introductory matter carrying the
reference number; if necessary, the copy preparer should add an in-
troductory line, such as 1 See the following table:.
13.84. An explanatory paragraph without specific reference but belonging
to the table rather than to the text follows the footnotes, if any, and
is separated from them or from the table by space.
Fractions
13.85. All fractions are set flush right to the bearoff.

296 Chapter 13
13.86. Fractions standing alone are expressed in figures, even at the be-
ginning of a line, but should be spelled out at the beginning of a
footnote.
Headnotes
13.87. Headnotes should be set lowercase, but not smaller than 6 point,
bracketed, and period omitted at end, even if the statement is a
complete sentence; but periods should not be omitted internally if
required by sentence structure.
13.88. Headnotes are repeated under continued heads but the word
Continued is not added to the headnote.
Indentions and overruns

Subentries
13.89. The indention of subentries is determined by the width of the stub
or reading column. Subentries in columns more than 15 ems wide
are indented in 2-em units; in columns 15 ems or less, with short
entry lines and few overruns, 2-em indentions are also used. All
overruns are indented 1 em more.
13.90. Subentries in columns of 15 ems or less are indented in 1-em units.
Overruns are indented 1 additional em space.
Total, mean, and average lines
13.91. All total (also mean and average) lines are indented 3 ems. In very
narrow stub columns, total lines may be reduced to 1- or 2-em in-
dentions, depending on length of line.
13.92. Where overrun of item above conflicts, the total line is indented 1
em more. Runovers of total lines are also indented 1 additional em
space.
13.93. It is not necessary to maintain uniform indention of the word Total
throughout the same table. The word Total is supplied when not in
copy.

Italic
13.94. Names of vessels and aircraft (except in columns consisting entirely
of such names), titles of legal cases (except v. for versus), and certain
scientific terms are set in italic. The word Total and headings in
the column do not affect the application of this rule. In gothic type-
faces without italic, quotes are allowed.
13.95. Set See and See also in roman.
Leaders
13.96.Leaders run across the entire table except that they are omitted
from a last reading column.
13.97. The style of leadering is guided by two rules: (1) tables with a single
reading column leader from the bottom line, or (2) tables with any
combination of more than one reading or symbol column leader
from the top line.
298 Chapter 13
13.98. If leadering from the top line, overruns end with a period.
13.99. A column of dates is regarded as a reading column only if leaders
are added; in all other cases it is treated as a figure column.
13.100. In tables with tracing figures on left and right of page, leader from
top line.
Numerals in tables
13.101. Figures, ordinals, and fractions are used in all parts of a table, ex-
cept fractions that will be spelled out at the beginning of a footnote.
Parallel and divide tables

13.102. Parallel tables are set in pairs of pages; beginning on a left-hand
page and running across to facing right-hand page, leader from the
top line.
13.103. Heads and headnotes center across the pair of pages, with 2-em
hanging indention for three or more lines when combined measure
exceeds 30 picas in width. Two-line heads are set across the pair of
pages. A single-line head or headnote is divided evenly, each part
set flush right and left, respectively. Words are not divided between
pages.
13.104. Boxheads and horizontal rules align across both pages.
13.105. Boxheads are not divided but are repeated, with Continued added.
13.106. Tracing figures are carried through from the outside columns of
both pages and are set to leader from the top line.
13.107. In divide tables that are made up parallel, with stub column re-
peated, the head and headnote repeat on each succeeding page, with
Continued added to the head only.
13.108. Tables with tracing figures or stub, or both, repeating on the left of
odd pages, are divide tables and not parallel tables. Over such tables
the heads are repeated, with Continued added.
Tabular Work 299
Reading columns
13.109. Figures or combinations of figures and letters used to form a read-
ing column align on left and are followed by leaders. Do. is not used
under such items.
13.110. The en dash is not to be used for to in a reading column; if both
occur, change to to throughout.
13.111. Cut-in items following a colon are indented 2 ems.
13.112. A single entry under a colon line should be run in; retain the colon.
13.113. Numerical terms, including numbered streets, avenues, etc., are ex-
pressed in figures, even at the beginning of an item.
Symbol columns
13.114. A column consisting entirely of letters, letters and figures, symbols,
or signs, or any combination of these, is called a symbol column. It
should be set flush left and cleared, except when it takes the place of
the stub, it should then be leadered. No closing period is used when
such column is the last column. Blank lines in a last column are
cleared. Do. is not used in a symbol column.

Tables without rules

13.116. It is preferable to set all tables alike; that is, without either down
rules or cross rules and with roman boxheads. When so indicated
on copy, by ordering agency, tabular matter may be set without
rules, with italic boxheads.
13.117. Column heads over figure columns in 6- or 8-point leaderwork are
set in 6-point italic.
13.118. Horizontal rules (spanner) used between a spread or upper level col-
umn heading carried over two or more lower level column headings
are set continuous and without break, from left to right, between the
two levels of such headings.

13.121. Units of quantity and other words as headings over figure columns
are used at the beginning of a table or at the head of a continued
page or continued column in a double-up table.
13.122. Over figure columns, units of quantity and other words used as
headings, and the abbreviations a.m. and p.m., if not included in
the boxheads, are set in italic and are placed immediately above the
figures, without periods other than abbreviating periods. In con-
gressional work (gothic), or at any time when italic is not available,
these units should be placed in the boxheads in parentheses. Any
well-known abbreviation will be used to save an overrun, but if one
unit of quantity is abbreviated, all in the same table will be abbrevi-
ated. If units change in a column, the new units are set in italic with
space above and no space below. The space is placed both above and
below only when there is no italic available.
Quoted tabular work

13.123. When a table is part of quoted matter, quotation marks will open
on each centerhead and each footnote paragraph, and, if table is end
of quoted matter, quotation marks close at end of footnotes. If there
are no footnotes and the table is the end of the quotation, quotation
marks close at end of last item.
14. Leaderwork
(See also Chapter 9 Abbreviations and Letter Symbols and Chapter 13 Tabular Work)
14.1. Leaderwork is a simple form of tabular work without boxheads or

rules and is separated from text by 4 points of space above and below
in solid matter or 6 points of space in leaded matter. It consists of a
reading (stub) column and a figure column, leadered from the bot-
tom line. It may also consist of two reading columns, aligning on
the top line. In general, leaderwork (except indexes and tables of
contents, which are set the same style as text) is governed by the
same rules of style as tabular work. Unless otherwise indicated,
leaderwork is set in 8 point. The period is omitted immediately be-
fore leaders.
Bearoff or inset
14.2. No bearoff or inset is required at the right in a single reading
column.
Columns
14.3. A figure column is at least an en quad wider than the largest group
of figures but not less than 3 ems in single columns or 2 ems in
double-up columns. Total rules are to be the full width of all figure
columns.

Ditto (do.)
14.6. The abbreviation do. is indented and capitalized in the stub. It is
capitalized and cleared (no leaders) in the last reading column (see
above).
Dollar mark and ciphers

14.7. In a column containing mixed amounts (as money, tons, gallons,
etc.) the figures are aligned on the right, and the dollar mark or
other symbol is repeated before each sum of money. If several sums
of money are grouped and added or subtracted to make a total, they
are separated from the nonmoney group by a parallel rule, and the
symbol is placed on the first figure of the separated group only.

14.10. Subheads are centered in full measure.
Leaderwork 305
Footnotes
14.11. Footnotes to leaderwork follow the style of footnotes to tables.
14.12. Footnote references begin with 1 in each leadered grouping, and

footnotes are placed at the end, separated from it by 4 points of
space. Separate notes from matter following by not less than 6
points of space.
14.13. If the leaderwork runs over from one page to another, the footnotes
will be placed at the bottom of the leadered material.1
Units of quantity
14.14. Units of quantity or other words over a stub or figure column are set
italic.
14.15. The following example shows the style to be observed where there
is a short colon line at left. In case of only one subentry, run in with
colon line and preserve the colon.

15. Footnotes, Indexes, Contents, and Outlines
Footnotes and reference marks

15.1. Text footnotes follow the style of the text with the exception of those
things noted in Chapter 9 Abbreviations and Letter Symbols.
Footnotes appearing in tabular material follow the guidelines set
forth in Chapter 13 Tabular Work.
15.2. In a publication divided into chapters, sections, or articles, each

beginning a new page, text footnotes begin with 1 in each such
division. In a publication without such divisional grouping, foot-
notes are numbered consecutively from 1 to 99, and then begin with
1 again. However, in supplemental sections, such as appendixes and
bibliographies, which are not parts of the publication proper, foot-
notes begin with 1.
15.3. Copy preparers must see that references and footnotes are plainly
marked.
15.4. If a reference is repeated on another page, it should carry the origi-
nal footnote; but to avoid repetition of a long note, the copy preparer
may use the words See footnote 3 (6, 10, etc.) on p.. instead of
repeating the entire footnote.
15.5. Unless the copy is otherwise marked: (1) footnotes to 12-point text
are set in 8 point; (2) footnotes to 11-point text are set in 8 point,
except in Supreme Court reports, in which they are set in 9 point;
(3) footnotes to 10- and 8-point text are set in 7 point.
15.6. Footnotes are set as paragraphs at the bottom of the page and are
separated from the text by a 50-point rule, set flush left, with no less
than 2 points of space above and below the rule.
15.7. Footnotes to indented matter (other than excerpt footnotes) are set
full measure.
15.8. To achieve faithful reproduction of indented excerpt material (par-
ticularly legal work) containing original footnotes, these footnotes
are also indented and placed at the bottom of the excerpt, separated
307
308 Chapter 15
by 6 points of space. No side dash is used. Reference numbers are

not changed to fit the numbering sequence of text footnotes.
15.9. Footnotes must always begin on the page where they are referenced.
If the entire footnote will not fit on the page where it is cited, it will
be continued at the bottom of the next page.1
15.10. Footnotes to charts, graphs, and other illustrations should be placed
immediately beneath such illustrative material.
15.11. A cutoff rule is not required between a chart or graph and its
footnotes.
15.12. For reference marks use: (1) roman superior figures, (2) italic supe-
rior letters, and (3) symbols. Superior figures (preferred), letters, and
symbols are separated from the words to which they apply by thin
spaces, unless immediately preceded by periods or commas.
15.13. Where reference figures might lead to ambiguity (for example, in
matter containing exponents), asterisks, daggers, etc., or italic supe-
rior letters may be used.
15.14. When symbols or signs are used for footnote reference marks, their
sequence should be (*) asterisk, () dagger, () double dagger, and
() section mark. Should more symbols be needed, these may be
doubled or tripled, but for simplicity and greater readability, it is
preferable to extend the assortment by adding other single-charac-
ter symbols.
15.15. Symbols with established meanings, such as the percent sign (%)
and the number mark (#), are likely to cause confusion and should
not be used for reference marks.
15.16. To avoid possible confusion with numerals and letters frequently
occurring in charts and graphs, it is preferable in such instances to
use symbols as reference marks.
1
When a footnote breaks from an odd (right-hand) page to an even (left-hand) page, the word (Continued) is set
inside parentheses in italic below the last line of the footnote where the break occurs.
A 50-point rule is used above each part of the footnote.
When a footnote break occurs on facing pages, i.e., from an even page to an odd page, the (Continued) line is not
set, but the 50-point rule is duplicated.
Footnotes, Indexes, Contents, and Outlines 309
15.17. When items carry several reference marks, the superior-figure ref-
erence precedes an asterisk, dagger, or similar character used for
reference.
15.18. A superior reference mark follows all punctuation marks except a
dash, but it falls inside a closing parenthesis or bracket if applying
only to matter within the parentheses or brackets.
15.19. Two or more superior footnote references occurring together are
separated by thin spaces.
Indexes and tables of contents

15.20.Indexes and tables of contents are set in the same style as the text,
except that See and see also are set in italic.
15.21. Where a word occurs in an index page column, either alone or with
a figure, it is set flush on the right. If the word extends back into the
leaders, it is preceded by an en space.

15.22. For better appearance, Roman numerals should be set in small caps
in the figure columns of tables of contents and indexes.
15.23. In indexes set with leaders, if the page numbers will not fit in the
leader line, the first number only is set in that line and the other
numbers are overrun. If the entry makes three or more lines and the
last line of figures is not full, do not use a period at the end.
If page folios overrun due to an excessive amount of figures
use this form ............................................................................................... 220,
224, 227, 230, 240

310 Chapter 15
(For examples of item indentions in a reading column of indexes,

see the index in this Manual.)
15.24. Overrun page numbers are indented 3 ems in measures not over
20 picas and 7 ems in wider measures, more than one line being
used if necessary. These indentions are increased as necessary to not
less than 2 ems more than the line immediately above or below.
15.25. When copy specifies that all overs are to be a certain number of
ems, the runovers of the figure column shall be held in 2 ems more
than the specified indention.
15.26. Examples of block-type indexes:

15.27. In index entries the following forms are used:

Brown, A.H., Jr. (not Brown, Jr., A.H.)
Brown, A.H., & Sons (not Brown & Sons, A.H.)
Brown, A.H., Co. (not Brown Co., A.H.)
Brown, A.H., & Sons Co. (not Brown & Sons Co., A.H.)
15.28. In a table of contents, where chapter, plate, or figure is followed by a

number and period, an en space is used after the period. The peri-
ods are aligned on the right.

15.30. In contents using two sizes of lightface type, or a combination of

boldface and lightface type, all leaders and page numbers will be
set in lightface roman type. Contents set entirely in boldface will
use boldface page numbers. All page numbers will be set in the pre-
dominant size.

Outlines
15.31. Outlines vary in appearance because there is no one set style to fol-
low in designing them. The width of the measure, the number of
levels required for the indentions, and the labeling concept selected
to identify each new level all contribute to its individuality.
The following sample outline demonstrates a very basic and struc-
tured arrangement. It uses the enumerators listed in rule 8.112 to
identify each new indented level.
The enumerators for the first four levels are followed by a period and
a fixed amount of space. The enumerators for the second four levels
are set in parentheses and followed by the same amount of fixed
space.
Each new level indents 2 ems more than the preceding level, and
data that runs over to the next line aligns with the first word follow-
ing the enumerator.

16. Datelines, Addresses, and Signatures
16.1. The general principle involved in the typography of datelines, ad-
dresses, and signatures is that they should be set to stand out clearly
from the body of the letter or paper that they accompany. This is
accomplished by using caps and small caps and italic, as set forth
below. Other typographic details are designed to ensure uniformity
and good appearance. Street addresses and ZIP Code numbers are
not to be used. In certain lists that carry ZIP Code numbers, reg-
ular spacing will be used preceding the ZIP Code. Certain general
instructions apply alike to datelines, addresses, and signatures.
General instructions
16.2. Principal words in datelines, addresses, and titles accompanying
signatures are capitalized.
16.3. Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., and all other titles preceding a name, and Esq.,
Jr., Sr., and 2d following a name in address and signature lines, are
set in roman caps and lowercase if the name is in caps and small
caps or caps and lowercase; if the name is in caps, they are set in
caps and small caps, if small caps are availableotherwise in caps
and lowercase.
Spacing
16.4. At least 2 points of space should appear between dateline and text
or address, address and text, text and signature, or signature and
address.
Datelines
16.5. Datelines at the beginning of a letter or paper are set at the right side
of the page, the originating office in caps and small caps, the address
and date in italic; if the originating office is not given, the address
is set in caps and small caps and the date in italic; if only the date
is given, it is set in caps and small caps. Such datelines are indented
from the right 1 em for a single line; 3 ems and 1 em, successively,
for two lines; or 5 ems, 3 ems, and 1 em, successively, for three
lines. In measures 30 picas or wider, these indentions are increased
by 1 em.

19. Congressional Record
Code of laws of the United States and rules for publication of

the Congressional Record
Title 44, Section 901. Congressional Record: Arrangement, style,
contents, and indexes.The Joint Committee on Printing shall control
the arrangement and style of the Congressional Record, and while providing
that it shall be substantially a verbatim report of proceedings, shall take all
needed action for the reduction of unnecessary bulk. It shall provide for the
publication of an index of the Congressional Record semimonthly during
and at the close of sessions of Congress.
Title 44, Section 904. Congressional Record: Maps, diagrams,
illustrations.Maps, diagrams, or illustrations may not be inserted in
the Record without the approval of the Joint Committee on Printing.
General rules
The rules governing document work (FIC & punc.) apply to the Congres-
sional Record, except as may be noted herein. The same general style should
be followed in the permanent (bound) Record as is used in the daily Record.
It is important to be familiar with the exceptions and the forms peculiar to
the Record.
Much of the data printed in the Congressional Record is forwarded to GPO
using the captured keystrokes of the floor reporters. Element identifier codes
are programmatically inserted, and galley output is accomplished without
manual intervention. It is not cost-effective to prepare the accompanying
manuscript as per the GPO Style Manual, and it is too time-consuming
to update and change the data once it is already in type form. Therefore,
the Record is to be FIC & punc. Because of its volume, it is not necessary to
stamp the manuscript FIC & punc. However, Record style will be followed,
as stated in the following rules:
Daily and permanent Record texts are set in 8-point type on a 9-point body.
Extracts are set in 7-point type on an 8-point body.
An F-dash will be used preceding 8-point cap lines in the proceedings of the
Senate and House.
377
378 Chapter 19
All 7-point extracts and poetry will carry 2 points of space above and below
unless heads appear, which generate their own space.
All extracts are set 7 point unless otherwise ordered by the Joint Committee
on Printing.
Except as noted below, all communications from the President must be set
in 8 point, but if such communications contain extracts, etc., the extracts are
set in 7 point.
An address of the President delivered outside of Congress or referred to as
an extract is set in 7 point.
A letter from the President to the Senate is set in 7 point when any form of
treaty is enclosed that is to be printed in the Record in connection therewith.
The letter is set in 7 point whether the treaty follows or precedes it or is sepa-

20. Reports and Hearings
The data for these publications arrives at GPO from many different
sources. Congressional committee staff members are responsible for gather-
ing the information printed in these publications.
Report language is compiled and submitted along with the bill language
to the clerks of the respective Houses. The clerks assign the report numbers,
etc., and forward this information to GPO for typesetting and printing. In
many instances the reports are camera-ready copy, needing only insertion
of the assigned report number.
Likewise, hearings are also compiled by committee staff members. The
data or captured keystrokes as submitted by the various reporting services
are forwarded to GPO where the element identifier codes are programmati-
cally inserted and galley or page output is accomplished without manual
intervention. It is not cost effective to prepare the manuscript as per the GPO
Style Manual as it is too time-consuming to update and change the data
once it is already in type form. Therefore, these publications are to be FIC
& punc., unless specifically requested otherwise by the committee. It is not
necessary to stamp the copy. However, style as stated in the following rules
will be followed.
Style and format of congressional reports

Below are rules that should be followed for the makeup of congres-
sional numbered reports. In either Senate or House reports, follow bill style
in extracts from bills. Report numbers run consecutively from first to sec-
ond session:
1. All excerpts to be set in 10-point type, cut in 2 ems on each side, except
as noted in paragraph 3 below. For ellipses in cut-in matter, lines of five as-
terisks are used.
2. Contempt proceedings to be considered as excerpts.
3. The following are to be set in 10-point type, but not cut in:
(a) Letters that are readily identified as such by salutation and
signature.
(b) Appendixes and/or exhibits that have a heading readily iden-
tifying them as such; and
425
426 Chapter 20
(c) Matter printed in compliance with the Ramseyer rule.1

4. All leaderwork and lists of more than six items to be set in 8-point
type.
5. All tabular work to be set in 7-point gothic type.
6. An amendment in the nature of a substitute to be set in 8-point type,
but quotations from such amendment later in the report to be treated as
excerpts, but set full measure (see paragraph 10 below).
7. Any committee print having a report head indicated on original copy to
be set in report type and style.
8. Committee prints not having a report head indicated on original copy
to be set in committee print style; that is, excerpts to be set in 8 point, full
measure.
9. If a committee print set as indicated in paragraph 8 is later submitted
as a report or included in a report, and the type is available for pickup, such
type shall be picked up and used as is in the report.
10. On matter that is cut in on the left only for purposes of breakdown,
no space is used above and below, but on all matter that is cut in on both
sides, 4 points are used above and below. Because of the indentions and the
limited number of element identifiers, do not squeeze bills that are submit-
ted as excerpts.
11. In reports of immigration cases, set memorandums in full measure
unless preceded or followed directly by committee language. Memorandums
are indented on both sides if followed by such language. Preparers should in-
dicate the proper indention on copy.
12. Order of printing (Senate reports only): (1) Report, (2) minority or ad-
ditional views, (3) the Cordon rule, 2 (4) appendix (if any).
1
If a House report contains the "Changes in Existing Law" section (in compliance with the Ramsey-
er rule), all main heads within that report should be set in caps and small caps, with secondary heads
set in all small caps.
2
If a Senate report contains the "Changes in Existing Law" section (in compliance with the Cordon
rule) with potential changes in law indicated, all main heads within that report should be set in caps
and small caps, with secondary heads set in all small caps. However, if the "Changes in Existing Law"
section consists of only an explanatory paragraph, all main heads within that report should be set in
all small caps.
Reports and Hearings 427
13. Minority or additional views will begin a new page with 10-point cap
heading. In Senate reports, Changes in Existing Law begins a new page
if following views. In conference reports, Joint Explanatory Statement
begins a new odd page.
14. Minority or additional views are printed only if they have been signed
by the authoring congressperson.

[To accompany H.R. 3342]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the

bill (H.R. 3342) to provide for stability of title to certain lands in
the State of Louisiana, and for other purposes, having considered
the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
ommend that the bill do pass. 3
PURPOSE OF THE BILL 4
The purpose of H.R. 3342 is to provide for the stability of title

to certain lands in the State of Louisiana.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
In 1842, the U.S. government completed a survey of lands in

Louisiana that included the area surrounding Lake Bistineau.
Using the results of this survey, Louisiana delineated its ownership
of lands under the Equal Footing Doctrine and transferred 7,000
acres of land around Lake Bistineau to the Commissioners of the
Bossier Levee District in 1901. Three years later, the Commis-
sioners of the Bossier Levee District conveyed this land to private
ownership.

JOHN MUIR NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE EXPANSION ACT
AUGUST 30, 2016.Ordered to be printed
Filed, under authority of the order of the Senate of July 14, 2016 2
Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural

Resources, submitted the following
R E P O R T
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was

referred the bill (H.R. 1289) to authorize the Secretary of the Inte-
rior to acquire approximately 44 acres of land in Martinez, Cali-
fornia, and for other purposes, having considered the same, reports
favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that the
bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of H.R. 1289 is to acquire approximately 44 acres

of land in Martinez, California.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
The John Muir National Historic Site was established by Con-

gress in 1964 (Public Law 88547) and is located in the San Fran-
cisco Bay Area, in Martinez, California. The historic site preserves
the 14-room Italianate Victorian mansion where the naturalist and
writer John Muir lived, as well as a nearby 325-acre tract of native
oak woodlands and grasslands historically owned by the Muir fam-
ily.
The legislation would authorize the Department of the Interior
to acquire by donation approximately 44 acres for inclusion in the
John Muir National Historic Site. The 44 acres includes adjacent
lands from John Swetts historic estate, who was also a farmer,
friend, and neighbor of John Muir in the Alhambra Valley hills. Se-
curing this property would benefit the Muir site as it will help pro-

Present Law
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT),
codified in the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act
